And ectoplasmic residue?
Yes of coarse.
I actually don't really have any hobbies. I wish I could find something that truly interests me enough to pursue it. I am just not that passionate about most things. That is why you don't see me posting endlessly on the Hot Topics board like some do.
Does this count, as a "Off The Wall" hobby?
I'm a backyard breeder / spider wholesaler
Latrodectus mactans - Black Widow
Latrodectus hesperus - Western Black Widow
Latrodectus geometricus - Brown Widow
Latrodectus bishopi - Red Widow
Latrodectus hasseltii - Australian Redback Spider
Phidippus regius - Regal Jumping Spider
And I have a variety of other arachnids, myriapods, and reptiles i don't breed but just keep imprisoned (too many to list), plus a few warm-blooded critters: hedgehogs, sugar gliders, and just recently added a flying blue unicorn.
In my spare time, I suck farts out of used furniture.
This has the potential to be a good thread. I hope others participate (beyond the expected jokes).
I don't really have any hobbies outside of the usual things....exercising, outdoor activities, reading, listening to music, etc. When I was a kid I was into rock and mineral collecting and lapidary. If I had the time I think I would still enjoy that. Maybe when I retire..........
When I was in the 8th grade, we moved to another school district, and I met this kid that was as into fishing as I was. For his 14th birthday(I think) he received a DIY fly tying kit with all sorts of colors and feathers and whatnot. We spent some two weeks tying all of the materials in that kit and I decided to mimic one of my favorite bass lures, which was a brown and chartreuse(more green than yellow) fish getter. So, I tied a brown feather, with some chartreuse material and added both a small lead bead, and a floating red bead for the head, so to speak. I used that self tied fly and caught numerous fish with that thing, until one day, I hooked into something big, and my line snapped, I was pissed big time. The dumb thing is, about two weeks later, I lost my Rapala lure also when my line snapped and I looked everywhere for a replacement, but couldn't find one anywhere. UGH. Tying flies is a pretty cool hobby.I've actually got another hobby that isn't really mainstream.
I've tied my own flies for....good lord...40 years. Started as a necessity because I could by the materials and tie my own far cheaper than store bought, then it turned into an obsession. I don't do it as much as I used to. Living in the South doesn't afford me to many trout fishing opportunities and tying patterns for warm or salt water species has yet to float my boat. Still enjoy it on the rare occasion I have time.
